Welcome Peter, I hope you enjoy this list at much as I have. I'm not that active sometimes but I feel good knowing that it's here and when I have time I can read the posts and ask questions. I'm wondering if you will use your digital and show us your darkroom as you put it together. My husband helped me build one in a big-rig trailer. You can see it if you'd like, at www.becksdarkroom.com Wishing you and your wife a lovely 2005 Becky Lynn Dear pure-silver listmembers, I would like to introduce myself to the list by way of a short bio and various musings. I am 34 years young, married, live in Sydney and recently have acquired two beautiful new Labrador pups. I work in the biomedical profession as an Engineer, and caught the B&W bug after joining my uni photo club back in the early 90=92s. I went crazy over Kodak=92s HIE, and have spent the last 5 or so years just waiting to get back into this and other B&W films. I enjoy shooting anything outdoors that has the patience for my meticulous methods. I use a digital camera for all of life=92s happy snaps, (the slow shutter response times on even the medium price models still irritate me =96 only mentioned because I can=92t justify buying an expensive one yet!) but plan on creating with pure silver as long as I can :) We had our 1st home built for us a few years ago and I had the privilege of being able to assign one of the bedrooms to be a permanent darkroom. 100% custom built from the ground up! As a labour of love, I have invested countless hours doing the R&D for its design and implementation. For me it will be a work in progress for a while to come. Unfortunately I don=92t have a web page up yet, maybe some time over the coming year. Oh, and it would be remiss of me not to mention that I=92m a Christian (since this too is a big part of my life). But don=92t worry, there=92s a time and a place for everything! I hope to learn plenty from you folk, and will pop a detailed question to the list rather soon. regards, Peter Badcock ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
